"broken white"? My USA brain has no idea what "broken" means in this context. — This unsigned comment was added by 24.9.123.37 (talk) at 20:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC).Reply

Maybe it wasn't edited by a native English speaker. In Dutch gebroken wit means white, that's not exactly white, so slightly mixed with another color, mostly yellow or brown. --Polyglot 20:45, 15 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
gebroken wit = off-white. Antique white is a specific shade of off-white. —Stephen 00:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
